EXCLUSIVE: 6 years later, Pulse shooting continues to haunt, enrage and motivate a call for action
This story is part of INTO’s seven-part series, in which we’ve asked queer voices to respond to the surge in gun crime and the sixth anniversary of the Pulse shooting.
We hope these varied perspectives encourage dialogue and change to end the needless violence plaguing our country.The Pulse Interim Memorial, with its vinyl-printed portraits, words of contemplation, and flower tributes that wilt and wither in the scorching Orlando sun, is a reflection of our grief and rage.At once beautiful and unforgiving, to stand on the site of such needless devastation is to be at the center of our country’s struggle with gun culture.
The events of recent weeks — no, wait — years, seem to have little impact on our collective conscience to reconsider what responsible gun ownership means.
For the past week, INTO has been exploring themes around gun violence, asking journalists and thought leaders to share their perspectives.
